The here and now

Learn to live in the present, this is not an easy task as it requires dedication and commitment.
First of all pause and look back on our life and when we change our vision of our life so will our sentiments change.
When we learn how to live in the present our preoccupation and pain with the past fades. There are many benefits to living the here and now.´´ We discover concentration and clarity in whatever interlectual activity we do. We cease the useless fight against things that are out of our control. We feel the surge of emotion and happiness. Discover our dreams and make them a reality, live a full life. Drop our preoccupations with the past and live life to the full ....in the here and now.

A flower for contemplation

A vase of flowers in a room creates a delicate harmony, to the eye a natural form of beauty.
They dont´t act as a distraction if your reading or meditating. The petals are a gift of colour and beauty, until they fall. It isn´t necessary to have a whole bunch crowded into a vase, where you feel the stress and discomfort and cannot appreciate the beauty. Their life is shorter their array less....far better to have 2 flowers and a stem of leaves arranged in a tall clear glass vase..here the simplicity will add to their ambience, as they perfume the air around us. The contemplation of the flowers creates equilibium and reflexion, they are a key to relaxation and meditation

Words

Words never spoken are flowers of silence

Look behind the silence of your thoughts

perhaps you wil discover another you.

Look Back

Look back, the life was

full of opportunities

that we never took.

what if we had?

All Things

All things .....are ours to behold and experience. Close your eyes and imagine the flowers heavily scented, the colours brilliant and strong, the sound of the silence....enjoy all life has to offer.

A Fragment of a Life

Too many fragments of my spirit have I shed within the course of my life and too many tears have I shed for those not worthy of them. In my darkness I have found light, and in my light I have found life. There is never a thought I haven´t uttered in the silence of the night and there isn´t a dream I have disgarded. All these things have created my understanding of life and finally I have found me. I will not abandon all when a whisper on the wind beckons me in search of wealth and better things, for now I have peace and creativity, and need not look for more.

Were you cold there in the shadow?
Did you feel that everyone and everything overshadowed you...you didn´t stand out in a crowd and you were alone...alone inside and on the outside.....a solitary figure in a crowd...maybe we should ask ourselves... why do we feel overshadowed by others? We are after all, different and we each have something special inside to offer humanity.

I remember feeling very cold (not in the literal sense) when I was young, lost and nothing to offer. Why wasn´t I born special I would ask myself, but now I knowI am special .....and you are also. So why do we have to suffer so? ...We are individual and therefore no one should have the possibilty to overshadow us . It´s unnecessary to have the latest clothes, cars,telephone and be rich.....these are material things that do contribute to making you special,..... that can only come from within, take the courage and reveal it....don´t wait for someone to say your special, don´t hide in the shadow...we are exactly what we are ...each and all of us in our own way special. Leave the darkness come out into the light´.
´For the breath of life is in the sunlight and the hand of life is in the wind´ Kahil Gibran

words that wound

Sometimes words wound us, even if they were not meant to wound. Words said in jest sometime can cause immense pain if the reciever is sensitive about something. Find your inner strength and use it to allow the stones to hit, but not wound, rebounding and falling away. However do not discard the message of the stones....analyse.....and learn - sometimes a little truth hurts!

For none of us are perfect and a little self realisation is good for the soul.

The living room

I wanted to call this site ´my living room´as I wanted to create in the readers mind a place that will stimulate us to look within ourselves, open our senses and our minds and heal whatever pain we are hiding. Sometimes this can only be done by thought and understanding. So if you have entered this sight welcome.

I have lived my life over and over, yet I am still learning. We can never cease to learn from the errors of ours and others ways. Look back, reflect...experience´......and learn. ASHA

The power of being alone

Those who are alone - are at peace and have the freedom of choice, to do and go where they wish. They have the power to search and shed their loneliness. The path is not easy but then life is not easy.

Those unable to walk this path through illness and depression - search within yourself and you will discover a freedom that will bring forth

a light into your life.

You are never truly alone.

.

I decided to open this site after I heard of a terrible tragedy, whilst life is a learning curve it can also be cruel. However we learn to cope and understand every day of our life and will continue to do so. Here you find offerings to enable an understanding of Life´s different facets.

WELCOME
